You can record onto a regular cassette
tape as you sing along with the music
from a karaoke audio cassette tape, or a
regular prerecorded cassette tape, or
from another audio source. You can also
record the sound from the audio source
alone, or dub from one cassette tape to
another.

Note: Adjusting 

, 

, or

the 5-band frequency equalizer does not
affect the recording level.

• Tape quality greatly affects the qual-

ity of the recording. We recommend
extended-range or low-noise type 1
regular length (60- or 90-minute)
normal-bias cassette tapes. We do
not recommend long-play cassette
tapes such as C-120s because they
are thin and can easily tangle.

• Before recording, be sure the tape

you are recording on has its erase-
protection tabs in place (see “Pre-
venting Accidental Erasure” on
Page 19).
